Pod'deck with Undying, the goal is to be evil. This is the breakdown, Sacrifice a creature with 'Undying' for a bigger creature with 'Undying' the you use the Hex Parasite to remove the +1/+1 so your creature gain's back 'Undying'.

Sacrificing creatures to the Birthing Pod triggers 'Morbid' also the only reason I'm running Tragic Slip as my sole creature removal. I might tinker with more creatures/ETB with 'Morbid' maybe add a few spell with it too such as Brimstone Volley . I really like that I can bring out an 8/8 'Trample' creature turn 4-6 can sing for 'Major Blood' especially with Increasing Savagery and/or Batterskull .

Now there are many "typical" cards that go in Birthing Pod decks which I have considered, I just found that this works smoother.

My one creature without 'Undying' is Gravedigger which, with his unique power totally makes up for the fact that he lacks 'Undying'.

Sideboard, 1st: 4x Mental Misstep for Aggro decks that rely on a bunch of (1) drops; 2nd: 4x Naturalize for if either Artifacts or Enchantments really get in the way of Gameplay; 3rd: 4x Doom Blade in case I need for more kill spells against a creature heavy deck; 4th: 3x Corrosive Gale Anti-Aircraft munitions;

The original idea for 'Undying Pod' comes from Womb of Death designed by: djgunn Yes I put my personal spin on the general concept. I was further inspired when theonyc made a Birthing Pod deck called wgb-pod-1 and when I tried to give advice it was painfully obvious that Birthing Pod decks weren't a strength of mine. So I challenged myself to make a good if not great Birthing Pod deck.
